I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the actual CD for the complete experience (it's probably waiting for me in Westlock at the moment - in which case, I'll get it on Saturday). |

I've already got one song off of it that I am going to have to learn - The Spinning Wheel. Jim sings it so beautifully. There are lots of old favourites on it as well. This album is a real treat. |

I listened to those recordings over and over - Carrickfergus was one of them. Right away I realized that Jim has a way of getting a song across that is extraordinary - he's gifted. He's got a quality that isn't just the voice, or the delivery, but a combination of those things along with something else that I can only term inspiration - a knack for bringing out the essence of the song. I've listened to Black Velvet Band on-line. Even the old chestnuts become new again and make me realize why everybody liked them so much. |
